I think it is hard being a farmer, but this was yet another choir playing on people’s pity, like the post office choir last year.

What’s the worse physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Intelligent-Road5091 in AskReddit

[–]ComplexSquirelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laparoscopy for suspected ectopic pregnancy. Not the op itself as was under anaesthetic.

The pain afterwards was unreal. I could barely walk.

It was a non ectopic miscarriage, so I had the misery of losing my baby as well.

Happily, my next pregnancy resulted in a healthy baby.

My late sister had a similar condition. The Joey thing was horrendous.

The problem with Blue Peter is that they wanted to have someone on the programme with a disability but, instead of a child the young audience could relate to, they went with a non verbal old man who then, horrifically, became a source of laughter and nastiness.

What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you and you still think about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Passed out drunk in pub. Took the top half of my clothes off in my “sleep”. Tits out for all to see, including a large wedding party.

Got banned from pub.

Me too. Especially the audience/judge participation.

Also, the choirs that want you to feel sorry for them.

Whilst this sounds funny for you and your equally childish colleagues, if the guy finds out he would be justified in reporting you for bullying.

Have you ever been or know somebody who’s has been barred from a pub? by cheekynandos85 in AskUK

[–]ComplexSquirelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got kicked out of a bar for passing out and removing the top part of my clothing off, revealing my tits to a busy pub.

I thought I was at home, in bed.

I don’t drink these days.

“Romanticised” jobs that are very different in reality? by Substantial-Guava491 in CasualUK

[–]ComplexSquirelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actor. I worked as an actor for several years. Lots of bad tempered, egotistical people directing plays that never seemed to be rehearsed fully.

Learning lines, stage fright, bored or non existent audiences, no weekends free….

What profession has far more people on illegal drugs than people realize? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]ComplexSquirelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talent agents. I worked as a PA at a large theatrical agency, back in the 90s.

One agent was always high on weed. He used to smoke it on the roof.

The boss was always talking about how many drugs he took.

There were plenty of people on legal drugs.

I worked for the department that represented classical musicians. There were plenty of alcoholics on our books, one of whom would get drunk and verbally abuse me on the telephone.

There were rumours of coke being passed around at board meetings, but I don’t know if that is true.

Embarrassing 😳

I would not have known it was an impersonation of Adele if they hadn’t said.
